APACTO and the Asia Pacific Tourism Awards are completely independent and not controlled by any government body nor any media magazine. 

About Tourism and Travel Awards - How to tell the scams and fakes from a genuine, beneficial program.
Tourism and Travel Awards are promoted by government agencies, media/magazine organizations, travel associations and private businesses.
My personal experience and research has shown many problems such as corruption in judging, cronyism and bias in many government-run programs. Media/magazine/association programs cater for their own limited subscribers and all exhibit the recurring dark side......DUBIOUS JUDGING.

With anonymous "panels of industry experts" remotely judging commercially produced submissions, awards by anonymous online voting, and everyone-gets-a-prize-gala dinners, no wonder skepticism has grown within our industry. 

BUT earning an award is such a valuable marketing tool for online reputation and to get you above the opposition, how to choose a program to be proud to participate in?

EASY really !!! It is all in the judging process... Choose the program which only accepts verified, genuine assessment at the place of business by validated visitors. Further, a one-time judging can be misleading, judging must be periodical to gauge consistency of performance.

​APACTO proudly qualifies!

Your Business Looks Better - You Feel Better - Both Perform Better
